Hey y'all. I dropped in here from over on NASIOC. I was pointed here because of where I am going with the project, and this being a more detailed forum for Legacy info.... Great forum, I've read a bit, and you all seem to have a good base of knowledgeable folks. So, getting to my point, I'm going to be getting a legacy, at one point, I had a 2004 wrx, that I swapped in a 2006 full sti, from headlight to tail light. It was a fun build, but the second child came along, and the car was sold... I'm a little too old for the sti now, but I love the flat 4 turbo power potential. I had a FP 68 hta turbo, 750 cc injectors, cobb full catless TBE, and up pipe. CAI, and open source tuned by me. So, I'm not ignorant when it comes to the cars and their mods.

What I want to ask you all, is sort of a budget question. When I get the Legacy, should I just get the spec b, or should I get a GT? My reason for asking, is that I am going to be replacing the suspension with coil-over's. What I want the car for, basically, is the amenities, Heated seats, moon roof, 6 spd, yadda yadda. I'm going to be going through the car, while leaving it still just looking like the legacy. I dont want to get into another swap, as I bought a donor car, and dont think the deal would come back around with something like that.

Would it be better to get the spec b, or a GT? Knowing a small part of the picture of what I will do with it. It's gonna get an FMIC, bigger turbo, injectors, up pipe, CAI, tuned on a dyno, coil overs, TBE, and all the other bolt on's. But which car has more of the rarities in comforts?

Welcome! SpecB has awesome alcantara/leather seats (for 07-09, 06 has dark red leather), other than that the amenities are the same as the lgt limited pretty much. BUT, it has the 6mt, and that makes ALL the difference.

The 6mt is a pleasure to drive, and will be much much stronger if you have lofty power goals. You can do the swap obviously, but I'd just get the 'B if you can.

Yes, you are paying extra. I'm sure you could find many forum member's who would take them off your hands for a fair price once you swap in coils ($300-600 or so depending on condition). You're also getting aluminum control arms and a better rear diff. Just get the B, you will not be disappointed.

What coils are you thinking of swapping? It better not be BC/ISC/anythinglikethat or that will be a pretty big downgrade from the oem specB setup.

Im going ohlins coilovers. They always did my bikes right, and they were what I wanted on my STi.

Since you mention the a arms and diff, what are the options there? And the steering rack may be something that I want to replace with an STi...

Im in the "get it together" stage right now, but I hope, and plan on being in a car by october this year, with mods included... So any advice you could give me on making the Legacy a more autox and street run capable car, I will accept with gratitude...

What part of North Carolina?
If you're near the Mooresville area there are two different meets that go on each week.
Let me know

Robinsville. just moved to the area. Still in transition from Seymour TN to here. I'm still in the planning stage of this all. Gonna wait for the right car, and get the mods done when I buy it. may be fall before I'm an owner....
